I'm all up for developers trying to get no one to play before launch, but i'm not sure exactly how they will do it effectively

Anything to scare 12-year old pirates is a good thing mind

surprise surprise its been leaked! (torrents) I got the impression that the message was sent out to peeps in the industry (reviewers, etc) I don't see anything about treating customers as thieves, just making sure that all online players are playing legit copies. Looks like there admitting they haven't found a way to detect flashed boxes n back-ups too though, whoops

[megaman22]

Well it was leaked some minutes/hours ago

I don't believe this.
Sorry but since when did Rockstar supply direct. How do they know who has bought it without shops disclosing private information to about people, that they can not do under the data protection act here.
 How are they going to account for the stores in town that have before and will again sell this before release to cash paying customers?
How are they going to verify that people have legit copies?
If they are telling people to make settings to stop it appearing in GTs how do they know everyone with a leaked version will not do it.
 Lot off things not adding up here.

yep i second that

So the bottom line:


Has it been leaked: Yes or no?

Confirmed: Its been leaked.

ive been looking on newsgroups and there are already a few copies of GTAIV available, whether they are real or not i cannot say as i dont have a modded 360.

Oh, but it is. (at least that's what I believe)

[zikronix]

I reckon this could simply be a way of comiling a list of approved gamertags which can be playing prior to release. That list could maybe then be used in a ban wave, along the lines of ur names not down, u were playing early, banned?

If i remember rightly last time round loadsa people were 'unbanned' shortly after being banned, leading me to think the detection method wasnt 100%. Methods are changing all the time and personally, i would like it if someway could be found to stop early leaks, i think they spoil the buzz.

Waiting 5 days for the game.
